What shock/flash wave player might work for me with no hangs

For about a year I have tried to make adobe flash player/shockwave player work for you tube videos and other links I go to. I have tried all the "download latest flashplayer" stuff. Just did it a few days ago and have 11.9 etc. And you update my FF every time you want to.
My laptop has no problems. Can I revert to the version of FF on my laptop on this main comp, and the version of Adobe Flash on my laptop, so that I can continue to use FF? Otherwise I am going to Chrome with all of my bookmarks et al.
I just read a thread where you seemed to blame Adobe for this. Uh, you might want to think again.
DO NOT tell me to download the latest Adobe. I did that 3 days ago. WHY can't you get your code to work with them? Or why don't they write code that lets FF in?
Like I said a year of trying to make you work for me and I give up.

I found a solution to the flash player crashes within Firefox, and have not had a single flash playser crash in 6 months at least. The solution involves creating a task to run at regular intervals to delete certain prefetch files. NOT all of them as it is NOT necessary to delete them all.
I have wrote a script that will create the folder structer in programdata/scripts/ and place the exe that actually does the deleting, and have successfully imported the task into task scheduler.
This should resolve all Flash player crashes within Firefox. I posted the information here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/968190?page=6#answer-511132
That script is not 100% Automated in the above link, but will get you started.
I have one that i have been able to fully automate, You would just need to check task scheduler in Windows 7 to confirm it will successfully import on its own.
I am looking for testers to confirm this works. This should work on windows 7 64 and 32 bit. Not tested on Windows 8

  • Flash Player only works for the account that downloaded it

    I downloaded flash player and did not specify any special preferences, however, it doesn't work for the 2 other accounts on the computer.  It only runs for the Administrator account from which i downloaded it. I'm running XP professional. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

    hi, i had already deleted cookies, temp internet files, etc;
    i only have the IE pop up blocker and blocking level set at Medium;
    it's the latest version of FP 10.0.45.2.
    I installed this version a couple of weeks ago and it worked ok for all accounts (the other 2 accounts are not admin) for a week. Then, it stopped working for all accounts, i reinstalled it (some trial and error involved), then when it finally reinstalled, only works for the one account. i just tried to reinstall from one of the other accounts and error mssg said  "failed to register"

    Subject: Flash Player only works for the account that downloaded it
    Hi ol, I would go to Tools, click on Internet Options and clear the Temp files. Delete Cookies, Delete Files, including the off line content. I would do this using all accounts. Also check the history files while you are there and delete those also unless you have done so recently.
    What version of Flash Player do you have Installed?
    Do you use any adblock or pop up blocker software?
    Thanks,

  • Flash player only works for user account installed with

    Hi all
    I've different user accounts on my PC for me and my son.
    Somehow Flash Player 10 only works for the user account I installed Flash player with.
    In case I install it using my account it will not work for my son's account and vice versa.
    How can I solve this?
    Thanks
    Mario

    I've struggled with this for a long time.  Here is what I've come up with.
    Adobe tech support recommended this:
    1. Log in as Admin
    2. Download the following zip file from here:
    www.supportflash.com/reset_all.zip
    3. Unzip this folder onto your desktop.
    4. Drag both files ‘reset_min_all.cmd’ and
    ‘subinacl.exe’ to your
    desktop.
    5. Run the reset_min_all.cmd file.
    6. It will open a DOS like terminal and start
    running through registry
    keys.
    7. When it is finished it will say “press any key
    to continue”.
    8. At this point you can install the latest Flash
    Player:
    for Internet Explorer:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/ts/documents/tn_19166/Install_F
    lash_Player_9_ActiveX.zip
    other browsers:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
    9. Check that Flash Player is working for the
    Admin.
    10. Check that Flash Player is working as the
    other 2 users.
    I hope this information helps. Feel free to reply

    I can't recall whether I had to run this in each account or not.  It somewhat worked for me.  If the accounts were all set up as admin accounts, flash worked in all the accounts after that.  If one account was admin and the rest were limitied (I'm running xp home) it wouldn't work in the limited account.
    I gave up and reverted back to flash player 9 via NOrton go back
    It must be a permissons issue of some sort.  I just don't have the patience to figure it out.
    Good Luck,
    Let us know what you figure out

  • Flash Player stopped working for Chrome in Windows 8

    Randomly, the flash player stopped working for Chrome. I run a Windows 8 system. Everytime I go to a website that uses the flash plugin (youtube, video streaming websites) a bar pops up telling me that the plug in will only work in the desktop. I've never encountered this problem before.
    I have:
    1. Checked to see if I needed updates. I'm all updated.
    2. Reinstalled Chrome to try and fix it, to no avail.
    Additionally, when I view the Flash Player settings from my control panel, under Advanced Settings, it says that the plug in version is not installed. However, I'm unable to click on that or click on the settings that say "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)".
    What is going on? I really disllike running Chrome from the desktop and would like this to be fixed.

    Chrome uses its own "proprietary" build of Flash Player, so you WON'T see any plugin in your control panel for it. You verify that it's enabled by typing "chrome://plugins" in your Chrome address bar. I'd provide a screenshot but I've REMOVED Chroime from EVERY system I have because it uses WAY TOO MUCH processor and  it was launching by itself in the background on my Win 8 machine. I won't tolerate that out of ANY software.

  • New flash player not working for all users

    I have Flash 10.0.22.87 installed on a freshly built Citrix 4.5 PS.  When the administrator is signed in, everything works just fine.  When my users sign in, they navigate to a webpage that requires flash and it either tells them that Flash is not installed or it prompts them to install (but does nothing when you tell it to).
    Did flash player become profile specific with this new release?  I have 10.0.12.36 and 9.0.115.0 on my other Citrix servers and they work without issue for all users.  I've tried uninstalling with the utility I downloaded from adobe.com and re-installing with the offline activeX control.  I've played with the security settings opening thing wide open and it still does not work.  There is no different software between the problem server and the other Citrix servers other than this version of Flash.
    Any suggestions?  Thanks in Advance

    I am experiencing the same problem on my LAN.  Administrator account the app works fine, end users sign in with non admin accounts and it will not work.
    I spent some time reading online and found the following instructions on the NET.  I tried them and I thought it worked because I was able to log on as a non admin user test account and the flash player worked just fine.

  • Where can I download a Flash/Shockwave player that works with Deer Park in XP x64?

    Where can I download a Flash/Shockwave player that works with
    Deer Park 64bit in Windows XP Pro x64?
    Before some Macromedia employee says, "When there is a retail
    version", Microsoft said that XP Pro x64 is an OEM release that
    anyone can Buy for their AMD64/EM64T PCs only, There will be no
    retail version as there are 32bit PCs out there still and XP Pro
    x64 will not work on a 32bit Compatible PC, Only on a 64bit
    AMD64/EM64T PC and not an Itainium PC either, 64bit or
    otherwise.

    What version of Windows Office will work for my OS X 10.5.8, and also what is the most updated browser available for my system?

    Sorry for my typo. Ofice 2008 will continue to run on Leopard and Leopard includes Safari 5.0.6. A G4 s an old machine and you will not get much speed when surfing the internet.
    Leopard is no longer avilable from Apple, and costs around $200 on eBay or Amazon.

    Got to the App Store and search on Keyboard - there is one in colors, Keyboard Pro, and others.  See if one of those looks like it would serve your needs batter than the built-in keyboard.

  • What is the most suitable image format for processing with imaq?

    Hello.
    What is the most
    suitable image format for processing with imaq?
    I want to capture an image of a usb webcam, store and
    then process it with imaq. I need to know what format to save the
    captured image can then load and process it with imaq vision.
    Thanks

    The only criteria is: don't use JPEG for anything scientific!  The compression involved with saving JPEGs means you always lose information.  I tend to prefer PNG - it's compressed, but non-lossy, and also widely supported.  TIFF is fine as well, but I don't think has any advantages over PNG for this application.  JPEG2000 can give good non-lossy compression I think is slower to read/write than PNG.

  • Flash Player not working for Youtube

    I have Windows Me (yes im very old school) and am using Internet Explorer and for some reason flash player 9.0 will not work for youtube. I was just on youtube, watching some video, listening to music and it was working perfectly fine. I clicked on another video and got a message that 'javascript might be turned off or I got a old version of flash'. I downloaded flash again and youtube still will not work. The weird thing is if I go onto different video websites, I can get videos to work, just not youtube.
    If anyone has any suggestion or things I can do to get youtube to work again, I'd appreciate it a lot. Thanks guys!

    I was playing YouTube videos for an hour last night then YT says JavaScript/Flash Player Error. So I installed the new version w/o uninstalling the old one & I'm still getting the same error (in Firefox 3). Then I went to Control Panel in Win XP Pro and uninstalled 2 items of Adobe Flash so there were none left. Rebooted. Reinstalled the new version of Flash Player & I get no improvement. I've griped at YT Help, now I'm griping here. I can see YT videos embedded in MySpace Forums. I can watch the 2 videos in my YT Video Log at full screen even but the HQ/Normal button is missing for some reason). But if I try to play any other YT video, I get the JavaScript/Flash Player error message and no video box. I can hardly navigate around my YT channel at all now. I can't do much of anything but log in, log out and look at two video log videos.

  • Flash shockwave 11.5 works for youtube but not amazon instant video

    Shockwave 11.5 r502 works for Youtube but not for Amazon Instant Video.

    Hi,
    It asked me if I wanted to install something to make the videos load faster -
    Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. Might be lurking there. If so, select the plugin then click Uninstall.
    Check:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins (~) Tilde character represents your Home folder
    Check:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    /Library/Application Support
    /Library/Input Managers
    And check your Safari downloads folder. If the file is still there, double click to open. Might be an uninstaller you can use.

  • Flash acceleration, doest it work for other flash content than video?

    Hi guys,
    I'm having issues with Flash using lots of CPU on Citrix servers. I've got 8 servers in one farm, almost all of then between dual-quad core intel CPUs. The problem is that various sites the users browse are flash based, not video related but with adverts of some other things and in the end the CPU is very busy with this.
    Does the hardware acceleration of flash apply to other things than video player?
    I need to resolve this issue as Flash is really hogging all the CPU so if a good ati/nvidia card can cope with the load, it would be fine, otherwise I thing flash will need to be removed from all citrix servers due to the poor coding.
    Regards,
